Functionality added by this MR is related to new/CA JO. The CAs can be queried for components (i.e. public tools). Typically when no object is found this means a mistake (typo in the name for instance). With this change, such a mistake would result in an exception being raised. This is the default behaviour. In cases when it is actually possible that the component is missing additional option can be provided: acceptAbsent. Then client code can check if the returned value is None and act accordingly.
